What is x when 53 divided by x equals 11?

In other words, what would the divisor be if the dividend were 53 and the quotient 11?

To find the answer, just divide the dividend by the quotient: 53 ÷ 11 = 4.8181818181818

To prove this, let's compute 53 divided by 4.8181818181818: 53 4.8181818181818 = 11

How does it work?

Asking what the value of x could be when 53 divided by x gives a result of 11, is equivalent to solving the following equation:

53 x = 11

  1. Multiply both sides by x: 53 x x = 11 x
  2. 53 x x is equivalent to x x × 53 , which simplifies to 1 × 53 (or just 53 ).
  3. Thus, the equation becomes: 53 = 11 x
  4. To find x, divide both sides by 11: 53 11 = 11 x 11
  5. Which gives, after simplification: 4.8181818181818 = x (or x = 4.8181818181818 )

So, if the dividend is 53 and the quotient is 11, the divisor is 4.8181818181818.
